Mediterranean Salad

Cultural Context

Originating from the sunny shores of Greece, Mediterranean Salad, or Horiatiki, is a staple of the Greek diet. It reflects the region's abundance of fresh vegetables and the simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine. Traditionally enjoyed during summer, this salad embodies the essence of communal meals, often served alongside grilled meats or as a light lunch. Today, variations can be found worldwide, adapting to local tastes while maintaining its vibrant character.
